Aaron, Unfortunately frameworks are ideally all about good design and best practices... and yes are dogmatic by their very existence... a little ironic isn't it... in fact I wouldn't be surprised if Stripes was implemented this way deliberately to force avoiding bad practices... but can't be

Nikolaos, Let me get back on topic by rephrasing my original question: why the value of the value attribute disappears from the generated HTML? Documentation states that, if present, the value attribute provides A default value for the form field. Can be a literal value, or an EL

Greetings, My application has a counttry property whose value eventually will be input in the form but for now is defaulted to US, so I attempted to put it in the hidden field in the JSP: stripes:hidden name=country value=US/ The generated HTML is input type=hidden name=country value=/ The

Aaron, You shouldn't avoid hard-coding values in a JSP... even if it something as simple as a default value. Have you tried putting the value as a constant in your action bean and referring to it from there? (the idea is if you have multiple JSPs then the value need only be maintained in

Hi Nikolaos, Yes, initializing property in action works fine. I think that in this case my initial design is better, because I have to change the JSP later anyway, and it would be only change to the JSP only. Now I have to make change in two places -a On Jul 28, 2010, at 12:17, Nikolaos

Aaron, Glad to see it works :-) I corrected my typo before seeing your reply... . You are free to do what you like in the JSP... but don't say it is better design... because unfortunately it isn't... . Scriplets and hard coding in JSPs is bad design period :-) Yes - if there is one

I don't see why a body would be more important than an attribute; do you have an example of a tag for which this is the case? What you could do is use a regular HTML input tag; that way, you can be certain that Stripes won't change its value. Levi Op 17 sep 2009 om 05:09 heeft Brandon

Hi Levi, using the regular HTML tag results in losing encrypted fields. I would be glad if there was a way to use the s:hidden field like a regular tag (value over bean field) - to be able to use the encryption support. Marcus Levi Hoogenberg schrieb: I don't see why a body would be more
